Long movie that you walk away from stuck thinking about humanity and right and wrong.
The guy was insane? (Just keep pushing Eastwood's anti-heroes.)
Actors:
(none)
Story:
I realize it must have been an even longer story and they can only fit so much of it in one movie. But they left out how it was that his kids magically were on his side. And they did a poor job of showing whether he was out of his mind insane or if they only had time to fit in the relevant events, which made him look more obsessed than he really was.

I don't see many movies about NORMAL people?

Some think Bob Kearns is crazy, if true, the world needs more crazy people like Bob Kearns.
I agree. That naivete helped Bob Kearns win 5 jury trials against some of the biggest corporations in the world (Ford, Chrysler). It was what he had learned in school, it was what he as an engineering professor taught. Patents were granted to protect the inventors rights.
Perhaps his idealism was from his Jesuit training at the University of Detroit.
His U.S. Marine Corps training taught him when a bully picks a fight you don't back down. No matter the odds.
As for the other players:
The law firm HDP.com that started the suits on our behalf represented Chrysler against us.
Henry Ford II's friend Max Fisher, Federal Judge Avern Cohn and his former silk-stocking law partners were estimated to have made a 2000% profit on the sale of property for Chrysler's World Headquarters (Detroit: Race and Uneven Development 1990)
As for my Brothers, Sisters and I, we supported him because we realized someone had to stand up and not let the raping of his rights continue.
